Chai Yan immediately nodded and answered: "Yes, Your Majesty, that is the Shi Kingdom. My five guards used to be elite soldiers of the Shi Kingdom. Later, they were defeated and luckily saved their lives, so they began to wander around.
Later they came to Shengguo, and after several twists and turns, they followed me..."
As soon as the conversation started, Chai Yan simply stopped and told Liu Lang everything about Ge Hong and the others in one go.
After hearing this, Liu Lang felt that the affairs of Ge Hong and the five people were new and bizarre, and he couldn't help but become interested in them.
When the sedan chair and the honor guard arrived at the downstairs of the palace, Chai Yan had probably finished talking about Ge Hong and the other five, and was now waiting for Liu Lang's reply.
Liu Lang got down from the sedan chair while thinking about it, and Pei Yang and Xu Mao followed closely to wait on him.
When he reached the steps of the city tower, Xu Mao quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, please be careful of the steps."
Liu Lang nodded and continued to walk up the steps. After climbing a few steps, he turned slightly and said: "Commander Gu is right. The Wude Department has never recruited people from other countries...
..."
Chai Yan said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the Shi Kingdom is gone now, and the five of them have lived in our Sheng Kingdom for such a long time, so they should be considered Sheng Kingdom people by now, right?"
Liu Lang glanced at Chai Yan with a sullen face and asked, "Why are you so anxious? Did I say no?"
"No, no, it's because I was impatient. Your Majesty, please forgive me." Chai Yan quickly handed over his hands and apologized.
Liu Lang did not continue talking for the time being, but continued to carry the front skirt of the crown robe to the tower. Xu Mao and Pei Yang followed the emperor on the left and right, each holding a back skirt of the crown robe, carefully
Go up.
The palace tower has ninety-nine levels in total, with a height of approximately thirty meters. It took Liu Lang and his party some time and effort to climb the tower.
At this time, the imperial city towers were ready, and there were armored guards everywhere. They stood neatly between the crenellations of the city wall, with serious and majestic expressions, which made people awe-inspiring.
At this time, Pei Yang went to talk to an officer upstairs in the city.
When Pei Yang returned, the sound of "rumbling" drums began to sound from the tower.
Chai Yan knew that the sound of the drums was to inform the people outside and below the tower that the Holy Spirit had arrived.
Sure enough, as soon as the drums sounded, the noise and noise below the tower immediately subsided, and the people turned their attention to the center of the tower.
When Liu Lang walked to a crenel in the center of the tower, the sharp-eyed people below immediately noticed it.
"Your Majesty, look, it's your Majesty!" Someone immediately shouted excitedly.
And the noise became louder and louder, many people began to cheer excitedly, and some even shed tears in excitement.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The steady rhythm of drums suddenly sounded, and the people who came to pay homage to Tianyan gradually became quiet.
After a while, the drumming stopped.
Then, I heard someone from below the tower taking the lead in shouting: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
The people all knelt down at the foot of the city and chanted "Long Live the Mountain" for three times.
Liu Lang looked at the scene of thousands of people congratulating him below, and he was secretly excited and surging in his heart. He immediately said in the loudest voice: "Get down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a series of rapid drum beats rang out. When the people below the tower heard the drum beats, they all stood up one after another.
Next, it was time for the "Eunuch Si Li" to officially read out the edict. Once the edict was read out, it meant that Liu Lang had officially become the new emperor of the Sheng Kingdom.
Chai Yan stood behind Liu Lang and listened quietly to the eunuch Si Li reading out the imperial edict at the top of his voice. However, because the content of the edict was too obscure and difficult to understand, Chai Yan was confused and did not understand the deep meaning.
However, Chai Yan didn't care much about the content of the edict. Anyway, this was a step used by the emperor to announce to the world when he came to power. It means that I will be the master of a country from now on, and all the people should know it.
It took nearly a quarter of an hour for Eunuch Si Li to finally finish shouting the edict. Chai Yan could tell from Eunuch Si Li's expression that he would probably become hoarse tomorrow if he used his voice like this.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The next moment, the drums on the tower sounded again, with a slow and steady rhythm.
When the people heard the drums, they all knelt down and shouted to the Emperor's Mountain again: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
After three times in a row, the drum beat changed as before, becoming a fast drum beat, and the people followed and stood up.
After completing this step, Liu Lang was supposed to be able to go down to the tower and return to the palace. However, Liu Lang seemed to enjoy the scene of being supported by all the people. He actually stood by the crenellation for a long time, looking at the city without leaving.
Seeing that the emperor had not left, the people below the city tower were not in a hurry to leave. Some continued to bow down, and some cheered loudly. The atmosphere of the crowd continued to be warm and lingering for a long time.
After watching the lively scene of the people for a while, Liu Lang turned around with a contented expression and walked towards the stairs of the tower.
Although Liu Lang left the battlements of the city tower, Chai Yan heard clearly that the people below the city were still cheering and jumping for joy.
"Chai Yan..."
When passing Chai Yan, Liu Lang suddenly called out.
Chai Yan quickly followed and said: "Your Majesty, I am here."
Liu Lang said as he walked: "Chai Yan, I have just thought about the five Shiguo people you took in..."
Chai Yan followed Liu Lang closely, looking forward to what he would say next.
After a pause, Liu Lang continued: "Because the five of them have contributed to finding the new golden vein, I can allow them to join the Wude Division, but you have to make it clear to them. The prerequisite is that they need to
Only by joining our Dasheng nationality and officially becoming a citizen of Dasheng can you be accepted by the Wude Division and serve the country!"
Chai Yan was so happy that he immediately held up his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there will definitely be no problem with this matter. I will make it clear to the ministers when they go back and see them."
"Yeah." Liu Lang responded and nodded slowly.
When they came down from the tower, Liu Lang asked Chai Yan again: "After talking about the five of them, it's your turn, right?"
"Myself?" Chai Yan was slightly startled.
Liu Lang paused and asked, "What do you want me to reward you for? Tell me..."
After saying that, Liu Lang continued walking down.
Chai Yan followed behind and said: "Your Majesty, you asked me this, and I don't know how to answer... Otherwise, you should just decide what to do. It doesn't matter whether you choose me or not, hehe.
....."
Liu Lang smiled and said: "Really? Then I will transfer you to work in the Sixth Department!"
"No, no, no, no, Your Majesty, if you really don't, let me stay in the Wude Department. Please show me your noble hand and don't transfer me to the Sixth Department!" Chai Yan bowed repeatedly.
Liu Lang glanced at Chai Yan disdainfully: "You lazy guy!"
"Hehehe..." Chai Yan scratched his head and laughed.
After getting off the tower, Liu Lang got on the sedan chair, and then said to Chai Yan: "On the way back to the palace, tell me in detail what happened to the Muyue Kingdom's mission."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chai Yan bowed and agreed, and then followed the sedan chair. As he walked, he recounted the scene when he first met the Muyue Kingdom envoy...
